Puss in "prosthetic" Boots

Oscar, a farm cat in England, lost both rear paws when a combine harvester caught him napping in a field in the British Channel Isles.

According to the Associated Press, his owners took Oscar to a vet who referred him to a a neuro-orthopedic surgeon.

"After losing his two rear paws in a nasty encounter with a combine harvester last October, the black cat with green eyes was outfitted with metallic pegs that link the ankle to the foot and mimic the way deer antlers grow through skin. Oscar is now back on his feet and hopping over hurdles."
